Hi!

I just made a new page to make your lives easier. It contains links to all the texts I’ve posted in this blog and it can be found here. For now everything is in Finnish, but I’m currently writing a piece in English, so stay tuned.

I was asked to join Kiwi Writers, so as a New-Zealander, I did :D There was this awesome challenge of a cat story and since I’m bored, I decided after a moment of hesitation to participate. I’m also gathering the will and strength to go back to NaNo and finish it.

I didn’t read almost anything in November, so I’m taking it back now. I’m reading two Pratchetts at the same time, but a week ago I bought Stephenie Meyer’s New Moon and read it during the weekend. I admit being young and romantic, but I can’t help loving those books (I’m planning on buying Twilight and Eclipse as Christmas presents to myself). And the point is that even thinking about those books makes me want to go back to NaNo and finish it, but somehow it seems impossible. One day I stared at the text in Q10 and thought: “Oh my god, I just can’t write a single word more.” It’s not that I don’t like the story, maybe I’m just afraid of finishing, because as you know I am Miss Unfinished Tales.

Yep, I wrote a little on Friday, a little yesterday and a little today, and what have we got? 1,008 words of a ‘fairytale’, which seems to grow longer than expected. It’s not finished, it’s hardly started, and (typically) I wrote it watching tv and happened to steal a couple of characters from Green Wing :D

I will now give you the first 945 words of

The Princess of the Tower (in Finnish) … continue reading this entry.

Yes, I got an idea which is probably long enough to fill 1,000 words but not much more. (It’s not an original idea of mine, but on the other hand I can’t remember who saved who in the original (and I haven’t read it), so it’s original enough.) I still have plenty of time to write it until the end of the month. And just a couple of days more and NaNo site relaunches and Steely Challenge begins. Feeling good again :D
